Epstein’s death frustrates Never Trumpers

Millionaire financier and accused sex
trafficker Jefferey Epstein was found dead in his federal jail cell in downtown
Manhattan on Saturday morning. Reports indicate he committed suicide by
hanging, according to the U.S. Justice Department.

He was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges based on incidents that took place between 2002 and 2005 over several different locations, including his private island in the Bahamas. Epstein, 66, had pleaded not guilty and was facing up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Never Trumpers had so many hopes riding on the
court testimony of Epstein. They had hoped he would name President Donald Trump
as one of the people who was also engaged in child sexual exploitation.

The media has gone to great lengths to
associate Trump with the convicted felon, who frequented his Mar-a-Lago Club in
West Palm Beach 15 years ago and socialized with him. Trump said a disagreement
ended their friendship.

The shock of his suicide is reverberating
throughout Washington and around the country. Another window of opportunity to
get Trump has closed, but that has not stopped the spinmeisters who are now
gathering in their respective camps to craft new narratives to continue their
attacks on the president.

Did Epstein take his life because hundreds of
pages of court documents unsealed Friday in New York federal court shed new
light on sexual abuse claims against him and several prominent men in politics,
royalty and academia? Contrary to some media reports the documents cleared
Trump of any involvement in sex trafficking.

They were related to a 2015 defamation case
based on allegations made by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who testified that
Epstein kept her as a teenage “sex slave.” She accused a British
woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, of grooming girls for Epstein to exploit.

Giuffre denied that Trump was engaged in any
sexual contact with girls alongside Epstein. In a transcript of a video
deposition she gave in 2016, she disputed parts of a 2011 story written by
Daily Mail reporter Sharon Churcher who quoted her as saying: “Donald
Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s. He didn’t partake in sex with any of
us but he flirted with me. He’d laugh and tell Jeffrey, ‘You’ve got the
life.'”

Giuffre testified: “it’s true that he
didn’t partake in any sex with us, (but) it’s not true that he flirted with me.
Donald Trump never flirted with me.” Her description of Trump as a “good
friend” was based on conversations with Epstein.

Giuffre denied ever seeing Trump at Epstein’s
homes in the US Virgin Islands, New Mexico or New York. When asked if she ever
saw them together she said, “No, not that I can actually remember.”

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last month suggested
that Trump preyed on and exploited underage girls. She reviewed a 2010
deposition regarding a lawsuit accusing Epstein of child trafficking in which
Epstein declined to answer a question about his relationship with Trump and
whether they had ever socialized together with females under the age of 18. In
response Epstein asserted his Fifth, Sixth, 23rd and 14th Amendment rights.

According
to Maddow: “There is a general sense that the blood pressure in the White House
has been running higher than normal since Epstein was arrested, and it is not
possible to know if this is just the new crazy, this is just newly how it is,
or if it’s a deliberate effort to try to distract from something, right? Could this be the president hitting the panic
button to distract from something else that is coming down the pike?”

As reports of his suicide hit the media, MSNBC
host Joe Scarborough tweeted: “A guy who had information that would have
destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How
predictably…Russian.”

David J. Rothkopf, professor of international
relations, political scientist and journalist also tweeted:

“The
myriad ties of Epstein not just to Trump but to the administration are
boggling–to Trump, Mar a Lago, his family, Acosta, Barr, Trump defender
Dershowitz, etc. It may all be coincidence but it does seem (they) many crawled
out of or at least dipped into the Epstein cesspool.”

Attorney General William Barr said he was
“appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead” while in federal
custody. His department will be conducting an investigation to determine how
this could have happened in conjunction with the inspector general.

Trump’s political enemies are already blaming
him and Barr for Epstein’s death. Former Democratic congressional candidate Pam
Keith on Saturday tweeted: “The right is going to think the left is responsible
for Epstein’s death and vice versa. But simple fact is the left did NOT have
physical control of Epstein’s person. Bill Barr did. FACT! Pure and simple.
FACT! And no one had more to lose from Epstein talking than 45. NO ONE!” The
never ending cycle of finger pointing has already begun.
